To encourage the conservation, preservation and enhancement of the natural environment through community-based efforts from the ground up, CICI recognizes that opportunities for students and communities from Papua New Guinea to gain meaningful field experience is limited. In order to assist and help further education and awareness for students and communities we are offering a limited number of placements for Papua New Guinea students and conservation minded community members this opportunity to join any of our programs for a heavily subsidized cost, by the owner of the Conflict Islands Mr Ian Gowrie-Smith.

CICI wishes to encourage the participation of people from all walks of life and wants to be as inclusive as possible without bias of age, gender, culture, nationality or economic background.
